Higher Country

(best viewed large)

Star trail at High Country Lavender Farm in Porepunkah, Vic.

The nights in the Alpine Region get very chilly indeed, especially on clear nights. I intended to take a 60 minute trail, however the fog started to drift into the valley which you can see coming into frame and later fogged up the lens !

But I was happy with 30mins, got the effect I was after.

Great star shot. Did you paint the roof with light?
Jared Revell replied

thanks Margaret.
Nope, no extra light added in this, there was a full moon out that night.

Superb as always Jared…..one question….....was 30 minutes continious exposure or in burst of ???
Jared Revell replied

Thanks Hans :-)
This was 30sec continuous bursts merged together like my other star trails.

Thanks Jared

This is beautiful Jared – Really clear and perfect. The lighting in the foreground is incredible! (How do you manage to retain such colour and sharpness in a trails shot? – I see the moon reflecting off the roof – is it all moonlit?)
Jared Revell replied

Thanks mate.
I think having the full moon quite high in the sky lighting up the area helped with retaining colour and sharpness.

So you gonna post my model plane macro ? How’d you go with your other macros ?

Louise Cooke

This is so cool Jared – love the warmth of the cosy little hut, surround by this cold starry sky – beautifully captured, especially sitting out there is in freezing cold!!
Jared Revell replied

thanks Louise, I can assure you, it was absolutely freezing ! :-)
Mark Bateman

My daughter Lucy and I are wondering how you did this! Sixty minutes exposure – was it in the middle of the night? How is the grass green?

A fantastic photo!
Jared Revell replied

Hi Mark, thanks.
I used similar settings to that of my other startrail shot A Long Way Home
I’ve also written a post detailing it on my blog here
It was taken at about 9pm (winter time), so it had been dark for a few hours already and the grass and cottage retain their colour due to their being a full moon combined with the long exposures and higher ISO.
cheers

Roka

Jared Revell replied

hi Roka, thanks :-)
